Baked Spaghetti

[Guest guest]

Hi Shanna,

 

Welcome to the group! Here's a family staple here and an easy recipe to

vary according to your family's tastes. I have omitted veggies at times

and used only sauce and I have also added veggies like diced zucchini,

cubed eggplant or artichoke hearts...and it's always been a hit. You can

use whole grain spaghetti noodles in this one (the trick is to precook

them only 5 minutes, they get done quicker than standard semolina

spaghetti noodles).

 

Blessings,

Nita

1 onion -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 green pepper -- chopped

8 ounces sliced mushrooms

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 28-ounce can diced tomatos -- with juice

1 can sliced ripe olives -- drained

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

12 ounces whole grain spaghetti -- cooked and drained

1 tablespoon vegetarian broth powder

In a large skillet, saute onion, garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms in

oil (and a little water, if necessary) until crisp-tender. Add tomatoes,

olives and spices and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Place half of the

spaghetti in a greased 9 " x 13 " baking dish. Top with half of the

vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat layers. In

a small saucepan, stir together broth powder and flour. Add milk slowly,

stirring constantly, to form smooth liquid. Add garlic and cook over

medium heat until thickened and drizzle over the casserole. Sprinkle

with parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or

until bubbly and golden on top. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
